The Funen Village
Den Fynske Landsby
An open-air museum with more than 20 farmhouses from the 18th and 19th centuries on Funen, featuring farming, craft demonstrations and summer Andersen outdoor plays.
The Funen Village is about 3 km south of the city center. Farmhouses, mills, blacksmith shops, schools and parsonages moved from across Funen Island have been rebuilt into a 19th-century village. Livestock graze in the fields. In summer, staff in period costume demonstrate baking bread, weaving and farm work. In July and August, an open-air theater stages Andersen fairy-tale plays, which are very popular with families. You can reach the village from the city center by boat along the Odense River or by bike. Admission is about 100 Danish kroner.
Opening hours
April–October 10:00 AM–5:00 PM (extended in summer); partly open in winter
